Chapter 553 - 552: The Terrifying Mythical Island
Upon hearing Cain's command, Skorupi, though slightly puzzled, didn't hesitate to act.
Skorupi used the stinger on its tail to extract the poison from Pangoro. It didn't keep the poison in its body but expelled it directly onto the ground, where it began to corrode the surface with a hissing sound.
The Pangoro, who had lost its ability to fight, finally showed signs of recovery. Without Skorupi's intervention, the lingering poison in its body might have overwhelmed even Pangoro's physical endurance.
This is how Poison-type Pokémon assert themselves in nature.
Once the poison was removed, Pangoro displayed its Fighting-type resilience and soon regained consciousness. The leader of the Pangoro group, the one with a scar over its eye, seemed to relax slightly as well.
Cain had Skorupi perform this act because he had learned some information about this leader Pangoro, who turned out to be of near-elite level. This revelation made Cain grow more serious.
He had anticipated high levels among the wild Pokémon on this island but hadn't imagined that the very first group he encountered would include a near-elite-level Pokémon.
This made him wonder just how dangerous the island's deeper regions could be.
With the leader Pangoro's gaze fixed on him, Cain and his Pokémon slowly retreated from the bamboo forest. The Pangoro group didn't pursue them.
